If Kevin Hadn't (R) by Bry
Hi everyone! I'm citruslover and I will be driving the Popslash van for July! The stories that I will be reccing this month have all been around awhile, but they are some of my favorites and the ones that I keep coming back to. So I guess a theme might be oldies-but-goodies, perhaps? Also, I freely admit that I have read much more Backstreet fanfic than NSync, so there will be a noticeable bias. Which I think is alright, because there's a lot of good BSB material, and they seem like a neglected stepchild here! So, please buckle up, keep all limbs inside the vehicle, and enjoy the popslash!
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Kevin/Nick from Brian's POV
Length: short story

Why this must be read: Bry was the first slash author that I ever read, and it was her writing that really pulled me into the fandom. I would rec everything of hers if I could. Not only does she write sex, really hot sex, but it's set amongst intriguing, spot-on characterizations, making it so much more.
This story explores the paternal aspect of Kevin and Nick's relationship, through Brian's observations. Kevin is the mature older brother comforting a needy Nick; squint a little, and it's almost believable. Using Brian as the lens gives it a voyeuristic feel, viewing the relationship from an outside perspective almost at the level that we as fans view it. It's an approach that Bry truly excels at, and makes for some provocative reading.
